Obama compares Iraq to Viet Nam

Why are we still in Germany, Japan, Korea....etc?

Because of special interests that want our tax money.

Nope, we left troops to prevent anyone taking advantage of the power vacuum

Where's the power vaccuum in Europe now if we leave? Can't Europe fill it?
Europe has traditionally spent little on military, using the bulk of its' resources for social services. Sorta like the left here.

Which is exactly why we shouldn't be there in any capacity that they could muster themselves.
Take it to congress and get back to us.
 
Have some of you forgotten that we LOST in Vietnam?

lol, if winning in Vietnam was VITAL to our interests, and we LOST, why haven't we been destroyed, or severely harmed,

by the loss of those imaginary vital interests?

We lost in Vietnam and the consequences were of no importance whatsoever. We lost 58,000 people for 'vital interests' that didn't exist...

...no different than Iraq. 4500 people lost for 'vital interests' that didn't exist.
Obama declared Iraq a stable and secure Democracy.
Mission Accomplished.
 
We had Iraq won...then Obungles fumbled it away, we could have won Vietnam but politics prevented it, the two common denominators? Democrat CINCs

Had it won?

So why would we have needed to stay 10 years after "Mission Accomplished"?
Why are we still in Germany, Japan, Korea....etc?

That's been a good question for 50 years...

From 1939 to 1945 US armed forces grew from 350,000 to more than 12 million....

From Nov 1943 to Nov 1945, US non farm payrolls SHRANK from roughly 43 to 39 million......

That's the math....
The math for what? Is this another 45% is a majority parable?
 
Bush was unable to negotiate a deal is the point.

Bush failed as a negotiator.
 
Iraq was won, then Obama switched sides

Iraqnam was so "won" that the Iraqnamese wanted us out....

Bush's big mistake was leaving the deal openended for his successor to make his own arrangements with the Iraqis. Nobody knew that Obama would side with Islamic Jihad, withdraw all US troops and hand Iraq, Syria and Libya over to his brothers in Jihad
Historians would be laughing hysterically at your comment.

But that's EXACTLY what happened Jake! Pre-Obama Switching Sides, Syria, Libya and Iraq were stable and sovereign -- look at it today!

No other explanation than Obama switched sides
 
Was the word salad of a post supposed to present some kind of argument or point? Because the point seems to be you dont have a fucking clue what you're babbling about.

Bonus Army - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Wikipedia? LOL

What's not factual in the link?
The fact that you think an open source is automatically credible as long as it forwards an agenda is what is funny. Especially since you think the burden should shift to the skeptic using a credible source. You guys are a hoot.

Well, that proves you can post a picture.

Then Iraq's fight with ISIS is Iraq's responsibility.
 
Assuming he said what is quoted, he is a major ass. Iraq is still a free nation not taken over by anyone. Yes, the power vacuum that Obama created in Libya and Syria has led directly to the rise of ISIS and they attacked Iraq. But the last I heard they were being beaten back both by the Iraqi military and the Kurds. The same Kurds that are very happy that the US removed the Butcher of Baghdad.

If there is a lesson to be learned it should be this. Don't bomb a country causing their leader to be killed and not back it up. Unless of course creating a power vacuum is your goal, which apparently is Obama's.

The Iraq war was won through the treasure and youth of the US. It is up to the Iraqis to preserve the gift given. That never happened in Vietnam.

Congress is owned by the defense lobby in sufficient measure to make common sense impossible.

Germany, Japan ring a bell? You're dismissed

I am not sure Vietnam was ever winnable. I am thinking the best we could have done is maintain the Status Quo, which the south was not able to do with out the US. Nixon tried to bomb them into submission but the MSM in America would have none of it.

Kurds have been begging Obama for arms starting 6 years ago. To fight this new growing group that calls themselves ISIS.
And each time Obama said no.
Obama intentionally lost Iraq.

NO!! i have not forgotten how LBJ and McNamara fucked us who wanted to fight that war like all previous wars and win.., e.g., WWII !!

What justified our being there in the first place? Imperialism? Colonialism? Madness?

No one can name a single vital US interest that justified our meddling in the affairs of Vietnam.

And, we ended up losing and in the long run we're probably better off for losing.

The bombing them into submission was working and you're correct, the left and MSM were losing their minds.

Vietnam was winnable. But pansy politicians kept it from happening.

How would you have won in Vietnam? What would have been called victory?
